A python package for working with crystal orientations in transmission electron microscopy
Project description
pycotem
pycotem is a python package for working with crystal orientations in transmission electron microscopy. It provides 6 GUI tools to:
-
determine orientation from diffraction patterns:
diffraction
-
determine orientation from Kikuchi patterns:
kikuchi
-
work with stereographic projections:
stereoproj
-
determine interface normal and direction from images:
interface
-
determine orientation relationship and misorientation between two crystals:
misorientation
-
display crystal projection on a plane and draw dichromatic patterns:
crystal
Getting Started
Prerequisites
pycotem relies on python2.7
with numpy>=1.13.3
, pillow>=5.3.0
, matplotlib>=2.1.1
packages which can be installed with pip
. GUI relies on pyqt4
.
Installing and running
pycotem can be installed with pip: pip install pycotem
Run python -m pycotem.xxxx
for the different tools: stereoproj
, diffraction
, kikuchi
,misorientation
,interface
and crystal
.
Examples
Image files and setting parameters are provided in the test
directory in the github repository for testing diffraction
, interface
and kikuchi
.
